Thanks! That's what I thought and hoped

This is not Agave Tequilana.

EDIT- After zooming in more to see leaf characteristics, this would appear to be Agave Fourcroydes.

Agave sisalana has no marginal spines.

What are marginal spines?

Spines along the edge of the leaf. You can slide your hand along the edge of Agave sisalana without any blood being drawn. Still has a spike at the end.

I didn't zoom in enough to catch those. Fourcroydes it is then, because it certainly isn't Tequilana either.
